What you must know when relocating your facility

Mar. 30, 2017

When an R2 certified facility changes locations, the new location cannot be listed on the SERI website directory until a revised R2 certificate listing the new address has been issued. Here are the steps certified recyclers must follow when moving their facility:

Inform SERI of the move and complete a new R2 License Application for the new facility. Any time remaining on the license for the old facility will be transferred to the new location.

Inform your Certifying Body of the move. The CB has discretion in determining how best to evaluate the changes associated with the move. They may decide on an off-site document review, a special on-site audit, or decide to evaluate changes in conjunction with a surveillance audit. When the CB is satisfied that everything is in order and the new site is operating in conformance with the R2 Standard, a “revised” R2 certificate reflecting the new address will be issued.

The CB should forward a copy of the revised certificate to SERI so that the R2 database and website directory can be updated with the new address.
